Paganicon 2019

The mythology of Ireland, Wales and Scotland are filled with spell-casting Druid magicians, but modern Druidry does not always wear that magical tradition on its sleeve. A lifestyle or way of life to some, a spiritual path to others, a religious tradition to others still, the path of the modern Druid ‘magician’ is one that has become shrouded in mist. But to me Druidry, ancient and modern, has magic at its very core. During this talk we will be exploring some of those ancient tales and meeting up close and personal some of the Druid magicians of old. We will then be exploring how magic influences, sometimes imperceptibly, the modern Druid path, and then looking at how Druid magic can be nurtured, learned, and directed in our modern lives.
